• Visual Studio Team System Organizing changes into changesets prior to check-in

  Hi all, I've been evaluating Team Foundation's source control capabilities, and have been generally pleased. However, there's one "nice-to-have" feature that doesn't seem to be present, and I want to make sure I'm not missing something. Often, a member of our team will be working on several bugs or features within the same workspace, and will want to manage these changes separately, for example: file1cs, file2.cs - Are being edited to fix Bug 101. file3.cs - Is being edited to fix Bug 102. file4.cs, file5.cs - Are being added to implement Feature Foo. I would like the ability to manage each of these "group ...Show All

• Visual C# C# Credit Card processing

  I've been looking around the net and haven't found a very sophisticated solution for incorporating a credit card processing solution that can be easily integrated into a forms .net application. Ideally, I would like a single point of sale credit card terminal which can be talked to on a lan from a windows forms application using c#. It would be neccessary that the machine be able to process card numbers through .net forms and reply with a success or non success notication when the credit card is processed (plus transaction information) Obviously, there are tons of online credit card processors but they all offer the service of taking c ...Show All

• Visual C++ DestroyWindow

  I apologize if this isn't the correct forum for this question, but anyway, I've been trying to track down a bug of mine in which I get an error "Invalid Window Handle" when I try to call DestroyWindow on a window of mine. I have done some looking around but I cannot seem to find what are the possible reasons for a window to be "Invalid" when you attempt to destroy it The window does exist as far as I can tell. So I'm beginning to think that perhaps it has something to do with threads or some other strange problem. The parent window is from a Win32 host application and the children windows are created in my plugin dll. Thanks, Joe ...Show All

• .NET Development Recursing Using the Directory Class

  Hi folks, I haven't used the Directory class before (actually I haven't done any I/O in .NET yet) - I'm just wondering what the standard method of recursing down through all subfolders (and all files in those folders) in a given folder is For example, if I specify drive C: as my starting folder, I'd like to open that, perform an operation on all files in the folder, then open the first subfolder and repeat. When I reach a subfolder where I've processed all the files and there are no further subfolders, I need to go back to the parent folder and continue searching for subfolders that haven't been opened during this process. Is there a ...Show All

• Visual Basic Visual basic 2005 Express - DLL/package Question

  Hi all, Apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm a first time user of VB Express, having decided to take advantage of the year long MS offer for hobbyists to learn the trade. As such, if I try the patience with questions the are potentially rudimentary to some of you, please bare with me. Here's my concern. A while ago I sent some sourcecode for an application that was written in VB6. These include the .vbw/.vbp and whatnot files. I don't have access to VB6 and have thus tried updating it via the wizard in my Express edition. The only option I've got when doing so is to upgrade the sourcode to an executable. I designate a new destination ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Could just be a bug! - loading webtest to loadtest

  Hi guys, I'm using a trial version of Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Edition. I was trying to create a new load test using the wizard. Then, I want to add a recently created Webtest (in vb code - which has been successfully compiled). I realise that I couldnt find the webtest from the list (Test Mix - Add - /All Loaded Tests - Available tests) I then restarted Visual Studio 2005 Open up the load test and edit the test mix - now I can see all the Webtests, including the recently added one. Does anyone have the same problem Um ,this is very weird. I cant seem to reproduce this anymore. When I had the problem ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Specular reflections aren't working right

  I'm having a problem with specular reflection.  It flickers as I move around my object. Sometimes when I'm looking at a face, and I swivel the camera just a few degrees, I get specular reflection.  When I swivel a few more, the reflection is gone - leading to the flicker. But specular reflection is only based on the position of the camera, not the direction it's looking.  So it confuses me that swiveling the camera would change the specular reflection in any way, much less so drastically. Also, I find it confusing that I should see specular reflection at all ...Show All

• SQL Server Formatting Date/Time

  What do I have to use to Format my date/time fiels so that they will not include the both the date and the time I imported the db's and reports from access and anything date/time shows both. The VBA functions I know are powerless to fix this. So: Format(fields!DateField, 'hh:mm') Format(fields!DateField, 'ddmmyyy') What are the equivalents Yes, I read the manual. Still not obvious to me. - Thanks in advance. Format is the VB.NET Format function (see e.g. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/59bz1f0h(vs.80).aspx ). The following expression should work for you (note: you have to use double quotes not single quotes for the format s ...Show All

• Windows Search Technologies Cannot install/re-install MS DeskTop Search (nor toolbar): "cannot remove older version

  I have ALL the problems encountered by some people removing MS DeskTop Search from my computer. I removed it using all the tricks I know + those given by members. Nothing works, I still get the message that the program is already installed on my computer everytime I try to re-install it. Now, all I want is TO REMOVE THAT THING from my computer and not re-install it ever. I'm fed up with this pop ups telling my that I should reinstall the program.

• Visual Basic VB.NET Invalid Characters In Path - Bug?

  Alright, here's the background... I'm keeping information about users in a custom file format, basically the first part of the file is the information about a user, then from position 296 through the end of the file is the path to a signature file (bitmap with a different extension). So it loads up the user information just fine, puts it into the appropriate text boxes, but when it comes to load the signature file name, something very strange happens... I step through the code during debugging, add a trace on my filename variable, and where it puts the text, it does not have a closing " mark. I try to add the " mark to ...Show All

• .NET Development Easiest way to make a copy of a datatable

  I am using VS 2005 with SQL Server as the backend. I have a winform with a master and a related grid for a detail. The grid may contain 2 or three thousand records. The form contains Quotes for work done for us. The user wants to be able to copy a Quote and its details easily. Both the master and the detail have AutoIncement fields as their keys. What is the easiest way to copy a dataset, or a table in a dataset Getting the data out of the master and making a copy that is like it is easy enough, but getting a copy of the thousand records in the grid is not as easy. I have created a routine that exports the records in the original grid ...Show All
